New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[RTS]

How reliable these Instruments?
Last saturday I was traveling in parallel with the direction of storm pepeng, though hundred miles apart. Due to my curiosity I started pressing different displays on the panel when my attention was caught by the reading of the barometer that shows 986mb then gone down to 982mb meaning Iam steering nearer the center so decided to turn back until reading climb to 1000mb, finally discontinue the trip up north. I have aborted my trip basing the barometric reading of my strada.
Any body have the idea how much is the margin of error for the barometer & elevation installed in our Strada. Compass ,I will not rely very much because of the steel & iron sorrounding the compass unless it is a gyro.
Thanks..RTS

(((IMO, AFAIK)))

I believe you are referring to what Mitsubishi calls as the RV (Recreation Vehicle) Meter first used in the CK series Pajero. Now found in the Strada.

Supposedly, it should be relied on especially for hard core offroad 4x4 users. To this date i think you are the first who reported about this issue. My apologies as I cannot give you a concrete answer for now. However in case you wish to join us at the Sagada Fun Run, we can probably ask all GLS and GLS Sport users of what their readings are and see if any of them needs (perhaps) reseting or recalibration. One of the steps to reseting the RV Meter (Compass, Barometer, Altimeter) might require you drive in circles until it the meter will tell you to stop and has been refreshed . HTH po... thanks and hope to see you soon.

in the meantime, lets wait for the other 2.5 GLS and 3.2 GLS Sport users and BOSBs to shed light on this.

Low presure in higher elevation is fine but not at or near sea level.

Sir Dadz,

Maganda yang flares na yan ah. Kailangan ba butasan yung body? It seems that its bolted on the fender.

Available for shipment to the PI? How much will it cost?

sir, i think it was discussed already. try checking the strada modification thread. not available dito pinas, but pwede order kay dadz who is based in thailand. i think mga P10K pataas ang cost..and drilling is needed.

235/85 would surely look nice on it.....like what TK did (our member from cebu).... its the similar size as what they used in the dakar race...

check sulit.com sir...marami dun..

Unfortunately lumalabas bro mga brand new dun lage eh.
may ino-offer sa akin Strada 4x2 GLX 2007. looks good, feels good. kaso 40k kms na tinakbo, also I'm quite in doubt kasi malapit sa east nakatira yung owner so baka nabaha.

he sells it for 660K. ok na kaya yun?

[5dreamers]

i actually have a despedida to attend pero sasaglit ako sa eb para maging official member na ng pinaka-astig na grupo. hehehe...

For the price sir....Im not so sure....medyo madami kasing nagmamahal sa strada kaya bihira ang nagbebenta kaya medyo matatagalan pa siguro para magkaroon ng talagang appropriate resale value....Unlike other pickups na in less than one year benta na agad wala pa 10k mileage just like what my friend's mom did....kukuha daw kasi nung bagong facelifted na strada :peace:
